Simplicity in suede — we're crazy about these cages from Eileen Fisher. A mix of shoe and boot, they're open-toed yet high on the vamp to make a graceful transition into fall. Crafted from supple Italian materials, they're a particularly textural and refined take on the trend. * By Eileen Fisher * Back zipper with leather pull * 2 1/2" heel * Cushioned insole * Leather sole with rubber pods * Suede

We've taken a real shine to the burnished leather of this chic fold-over cross-body bag, handcrafted for us by artisans in a small Italian leather mill. Clean-lined seams and smart organization make this a great go-to. A front pouch pocket and back zippered pocket give you easy access to essentials, but that's not all: inside, there are three more pockets: two open and one zippered, all trimmed in leather. * Adjustable buckle * Striped cotton lining * 15" H x 14 1/2" W x 3 1/2" D * Leather * Due to the natural dyeing process, color variations will occur * Italy

A twist in front gives these crisscross shoes style to cross over from summer to fall. We noticed our prop stylist reaching for them again and again — the chunky architectural heel modernizes skirts, dresses, jeans, you name it. The flexibility of the sole means they'll be comfortable day in, day out. * By Corso Como * Back zipper * 3 1/2" heel * Foam, gel, and leather footbed * Flexible man-made sole * Leather/suede * Imported

Think of our new supersoft ruana as a modern poncho with an asymmetrical opening. Let the fabric sweep off to one side and you've got a shawl, drape it like a cape, or cinch it with a belt or brooch for a stepped-up variation. * 4" hand-finished fringe * Hip length * Pure cashmere * Imported GARNET HILL CASHMERE Garnet Hill cashmere is made from the fine, downy undercoat of Kashmir goats raised in Inner Mongolia. Our suppliers practice responsible herd management and produce the highest quality fibers, which are washed, carded and spun into sumptuous two-ply yarns, twisted to resist pilling (without compromising strength). To achieve our vibrant colors, we use only Oeko-Tex certified eco-friendly dyes, which means we also use fewer chemicals, less water and less energy. From start to finish, every step in our manufacturing process takes place under the glass roof of a world-class, eco- conscious production facility.

Step it up: Supple suede and two pretty side gussets give these hip and happy wedges a design presence that elevates any look — and provides secure footing to boot. We love the way these ankle booties pair with skirts and dresses almost as much as we love the celebrated Børn comfort. * By Børn * 3 1/4" shaft * 2 3/4" heel * Rubber sole * Leather * Imported/Italy

Live life on the fringe — the refined fringe, that is. Our on-trend silhouette, made for us in the hills of Italy, has just the right slouch factor and a flurry of sophisticated fringe so you'll sway with every step. Refined metal rivets detail at the strap adds just the right polish. Inside organization includes a back panel with zipper closure and Pouch pocket, both trimmed in leather. * Magnetic snap closure * 13" H x 15" W x 3" D * Leather; cotton lining * Due to the natural dyeing process, color variations will occur * Italy

We love a smart Oxford for the transitional season. The menswear styling looks surprisingly feminine with rolled-up jeans or a skirt-'n-cardi combo. And when crafted by the folks at Frye, you know it's going to score high on authenticity, comfort, and quality. Check, check, check! * By Frye * Lace-up style * Leather * Leather/rubber sole * Imported

Mitered stripes and a modern shape make this poncho a perfect throw-over-a-tee-to-look-chic piece. One side is closed, the other side open for ease and an asymmetric drape. So very soft and light, the transitional weight works from now through winter. * By Eileen Fisher * Bateau-neckline * Viscose/nylon/spandex * Imported

Break out of a sneaker rut with a spot-on slip-on — newly chic with everything from track pants to flirty dresses. First spied on the catwalk, this version of the trend looks just as hip for those of us more likely to be walking the dog. Slight distressing on the sole adds a little street cred. * Kenneth Cole * Leather footbed * Rubber sole * Calf hair (black) or suede (brown) * Imported

The hammered gold rings of this narrow leather belt have the shine and presence of jewelry. And we're fans of the fit — the leather dips a bit at the hip and runs circles around any dress, tunic, or sweater it meets. * By Eileen Fisher * Leather * USA
